Sherrod Brown is one of the candidates for US Senate in the state of Ohio. I just called his office to ask a few simple questions. Here's how it went...
Me: Does Sherrod Brown support a women's right to choose abortion?
Sherrod Brown's Representative: Yes, he does.
Me: If Sherrod Brown were in the senate, would he support a ban on partial birth abortions?
Sherrod Brown's Representative: No, he would not.
Me: Does Sherrod Brown support laws allowing for homosexual marriage?
Sherrod Brown's Representative: Sherrod Brown believes everyone should have an equal right to earn a living.
Me: So, does he support laws allowing for homosexual marriage?
Sherrod Brown's Representative: I think I have answered that question.
Me: With all due respect, mam, you haven't answered the question.
Sherrod Brown's Representative: Sir, somethings aren't as simple as yes or no.
Me: But some things are. If Mr. Brown were my senator, there would be times when he would have to vote yes or no, that is how voting works. So if the question on the floor were to legalize homosexual marriage would he vote yes or no?
Sherrod Brown's Representative: We don't want to answer that question.
Me: Do you mean Mr. Brown hasn't decided or that it is a secret?
Sherrod Brown's Representative: Sherrod Brown supports the right of everyone to earn a living. Good bye. Click.
To be fair, I'll call the other candidate's office soon with the same questions and report the answers here, but I've got to go take some blood pressure medicine first.

P.S. If there is anything the Sherrod Brown campaign would like to add to this subject, or if they have further answers to these questions, I will be more than happy to post their reply to my blog.
